TravelerThis State Park is located outside Carlyle,Illinois. This park offers playground areas and more. Cabins, campsites with power or no power the choice is yours. This is one State Park i enjoy visiting. However there are times this park cannot be accessed because of flooding.
RangerKind of a bare bones campground but this state park does offer rock climbing (if you have the expertise and your own gear). A few picnic shelters and an amazing CCC lodge that has a cabin rentals and a pretty good area restaurant. The park used to have an interp center but I believe the state closed it do to funding. The trails aren't always maintained it definitely depends on the season but the park itself is not to be missed.
GuideReally great campground. Good mix of tents and RVs. Bath house was very well kept and clean. Showers ran cold at first but after a few mins it gets warmer! There were plenty of pit toliets through out the campground and trash cans. My tent site was clean, good flat spot for tent, picnic table and fire pit with attached grill.
The Concession building in the park is closing. No boat rentals, selling everything he has on the shelf.
Caught a few bass and and good amount of hiking. Large trail around the whole lake, smaller trails lead to sites around the different campgrounds.
GuideMaybe it's because I am from WI and we tend to rip on IL a lot, but I really found this park sub-par. I am also spoiled from getting to see some of the larger parks in the country. Would probably be nice for a long weekend with the kids. But I don't have kids. It's more of a touristy place than a real campground in my opinion. If you are in the area check out the view of Tower Rock. There are a lot of campsites available for both tent and RV, and they do offer grills, tables, camp fire pits, toilets, and a playground. Pets are welcome. Part of a foundation of an old house built on a rock is still around and is a neat part of history.
ScoutIt is overcrowded all through the week in the RV area with no great views of the lake, sadly. 2. cabins.but overpriced due to no running water or nearby ttoilet but more private and great lake views Awesome fishing here and boat rentals
GuideThere’s not a bad campsite here. There are sites with electric, water, and sewer. Several sites are right on Rend Lake. Most sites have concrete picnic tables and fire rings. The bath houses are really nice, they are individual shower houses that are clean and well lit. The grounds are very well maintained. The park was full while we stayed there, but was really quiet. You can tent camp or use a camper.
RangerRV or tent, book online at Recreation.Gov not all spots are level. Electric on most but not all have water. Campfire area and picnic table provided. Bathhouse is clean and park areas are all clean, dump station on site. We will be back and book closer to the lake in a level site.
LegendBenton KOA Journey is an easy overnight stop just off I-57. Since we were already familiar with the campground layout, we called ahead to ask if we could go directly to our site on the opposite side of the road from the office and check in afterward. The staff gladly accommodated our request. We stayed in Deluxe Full-Hookup Pull-Through Patio Site 65, which made it easy to center our 40-foot fifth wheel on the utilities. The site was slightly off level, but we did not need to use blocks. The gravel patio featured a huge wheelchair-accessible picnic table, fire pit with cooking grate, stand-up charcoal grill, wooden swing, and bench. We received one bar on Verizon and two bars on T-Mobile. There are mature trees around the seven pull-through sites across the road from the main campground, but Starlink should work in most of them if you're able to position the dish around the trees. For this overnight stay, we used our T-Mobile Home Internet, which averaged 358 Mbps download and 2.7 Mbps upload. The campground Wi-Fi was adequate for light browsing. A fenced dog park was conveniently located near our site, and being across the road from the main campground helped reduce interstate noise. Overall, this is a clean, well-run KOA with exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, and a good overnight stop returning to our home base in southern Illinois to rest and dump tanks.
TravelerWe loved staying here. Pet friendly and beautiful lake views from many of the camp sites. I recommend checking the grade of the camp site because some of the ones next to the lake were at a pretty big angle. Our site was nice and flat so no issues there. We loved it and would definitely stay again.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: South Marcum Campground offers excellent wildlife spotting from cabin locations. "Lots of deer and turkey!" notes camper Garrett F., who appreciated the natural surroundings. The campground provides access to Rend Lake for multiple outdoor activities.
Stargazing sessions: The rural setting creates ideal conditions for night sky viewing from cabin porches. "The sky was real dark, great for picking out constellations," reports Joel R. about Washington County State Recreation Area, adding they "listened to Whip-por-will calls around the campfire."
Fishing excursions: Most cabin locations provide lake access for fishing. At Lake Murphysboro, Joel R. mentions "Good fishing and canoeing" with "lots of free fire wood, hiking, fishing and canoeing" available from the group camping areas. Cabin guests can typically access boat ramps and shoreline fishing spots within walking distance.
Lake views: Many cabin visitors mention water views as a highlight. "Spot 56 has a crazy lake view and is on the tip of an outlook with pretty nice privacy!" exclaims Eli R. about South Marcum's lakeside cabins. The elevated cabin locations often provide panoramic water views.
Privacy levels: Cabins vary significantly in their isolation. "More private and great lake views," writes one camper about Washington County's cabins. Many visitors specifically select sites based on seclusion factor, with corner units typically offering more separation from neighbors.
Nearby attractions: Giant City State Park Campground offers cabin accommodations with access to unique geological features. "Lots of amazing, beautiful hikes in this park, especially if you're into bluffs and large boulders. Easy drive to many other picturesque and unique parks," writes Kyle K., highlighting the convenience for regional exploration.
Reservation systems: Wayne Fitzgerrell State Park Campground uses a first-come system for some sites that can be confusing. "Basically people show up and throw a cooler or tent onto a site to claim it and then leave. They have to pay for the spot by 8pm," explains Blake M. Call ahead to understand specific cabin reservation requirements.
Facility conditions: Bathroom facilities vary widely between locations. "Bathrooms are pretty disgusting buggy and dirty," reports Matthew B. about Wayne Fitzgerrell, while others note clean conditions at different parks. Cabin guests should check what bathroom facilities are available near their unit.

Shirlee A. noted at Randolph County State Recreation Area, "2 different playgrounds walkable distance from campground" and mentioned "cute little forest bunnies running around," making it appealing for younger visitors.
Swimming options: Some cabins offer lake swimming access. AC mentions at Washington County: "Caught a few bass and and good amount of hiking. Large trail around the whole lake, smaller trails lead to sites around the different campgrounds." Families should confirm swimming areas are available if this activity is important.
Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects some cabin locations. "Lots of interstate noise. Many sites are very off level. CHECK carefully," warns Kennon H. about Wayne Fitzgerrell. Families with light sleepers should request cabins farther from major roads.
Site levelness: Campers noting cabin rental challenges often mention similar issues for RV sites. "Good mix of tents and RVs," notes AC about Washington County, but adds "My tent site was clean, good flat spot for tent." Site leveling issues appear across multiple campgrounds in this region.
Power availability: World Shooting and Recreational Complex offers basic cabin options but more robust electrical services for RVs. "Lot's of full hookups," notes Chip, adding "Site has tons of camping sites so finding a spot should not be an issue." Power options vary significantly between cabins and RV sites at most locations.
